Octuplets.....

I've been reading about the octuplets that were born. Eight babies!!! Can you imagine!!! Today I read another article that said that the mother already had 6 children!!! Why would she want to take fertility treatments if she already had 6 children?! Then to top it off.....she and her children live with her parents!! Fourteen children!!!!! I will say that I'm glad that she chose not to eliminate any of them but some doctor should have put a stop to this before she got pregnant.

I've been following that story too. I don't understand why she did that or why a Dr. would. I thought they had ethics about this sort of thing and were trying to keep multiple births to no more than 3. Not that it should be regulated or anything like that, but it's so dangerous to the mother AND to the babies. I'm glad that so far they are thriving.

I'm glad that they're thriving too. It just doesn't make sense that this woman needed fertility treatments in the first place. She already had 6 children. I thought that fertility treatments were for people who had trouble getting pregnant. And where is the father? There was no mention of him in the article.

People in my office were talking about her six other kids this morning. Obviously she has money if she could afford the fertility treatments, but she had better have a lot of money to afford FOURTEEN kids!!! My roommate has triplets for siblings and I know it was financially tough on her family to have 3 kids going through diapers at the same time. It's definitely a weird situation for this octuplets woman. I think a lot of people are curious to know the whole story!

I'm with you on this Diana....where's the father? Surely a Dr. wouldn't do this with a woman with 6 kids and no husband? Does she have one?
